To allow the economic use of Off-gases from processes a reliable control of the burners requires Wobbe-Index and Air demand as control values, to adjust to the ever changing gas composition. These two parameters are measured with the RHADOX 7100 / 7100 Ex Analyser.
Typical applications are:
- Off-gases from blast furnaces
- Off-gases from chemical and petrochemical plants
- Off-gases from water treatment plants and biomass plants
- Quality control in the glass industries
Due to the deviation in quality of Off-gases the RHADOX™ Analysers are calibrated with two gases which represent the low and high end of the measuring range. The accuracy of the measurement is depending mostly on the simulation of the Off-gas by the calibration gases. The definition of the calibration gases is provided by AMS. The quality of the calibration gases is most important.
To take advantage of the extremely fast response and T90-times the RHADOX™ Analysers have to be installed close to the point of gas extraction. The only prerequisite is a frost-free environment at the point of installation.
The RHADOX™ Analysers are mounted on a metal mounting plate with the components catalytic reactor, gas mixing chamber, electronic evaluation unit, power supply and measuring signal distribution installed in separated sheet metal housings. The housings of the components are manufactured for general purpose in protection class IP 65.
